jata kataha sambhrama
bramanilimpa nirjari
vilola vichi valari
viraja mana murdhani

dhaga dhaga dhagaj jwaala
lalata patta paavake
kishora chandra shekhare
rathi prathi kashananama

kaun hain woh kaun hain woh
kahan se woh aaya
charo dishaon mein tez sa woh chhaya

uski bhujayein badle kathayein
bhagirathi teri taraf shivji chale
dekh zara yeh vichitr maya

dhara dharendra nandini
vilasa bhandhu bhanduras
phuradigantha santhathi
pramodha mana maanase

kripa khadaksha dhorani
nirudha durdharapadi
kwachi digambare mano
vinodhamethu vasthuni

jata bhujang pingalas
phurath phana mani prabha
kadamba kumkuma drava
praliptha digwadhu mukhe

madhandha sindhura sphurathwagu
utthariya medhure
mano vinodhamadhbutham
bibarthu bhoota bharthari

kaun hain woh kaun hain woh
kahan se woh aaya
charo dishaon mein tez sa woh chhaya

uski bhujayein badle kathayein
bhagirathi teri taraf shivji
chale dekh zara yeh vichitr maya

Where the endless sky swirls, a cosmic dance,
A cascade of grace, a river's embrace, crowning the brow,
Where the heart beats, a flag of fire ascends,
O Moon-crowned Lord, my refuge, now.

Who is He?
Who is He, whence did He arise?
His radiant light, in all directions, flies.
His arms reshape the tales, toward you, O Ganges, flow,
Shiva walks, behold, this wondrous guise.

The mountain's daughter, her joy unbound,
A dance of grace, the earth resounds,
With joy and reverence, compassion's tide,
A shield against all harm, the sky His gown,
With delight in the heart, this wonder found.

Where the serpent's hood, a golden gleam,
A gem's soft glow, like saffron's dream,
Anointing the sky-bride's face, intoxicated,
The ocean's roar, a billowing steam,
Sweet, a marvel, He, the world's sustainer.

Who is He?
Who is He, whence did He arise?
His radiant light, in all directions, flies.
His arms reshape the tales, toward you, O Ganges, flow,
Shiva walks, behold, this wondrous guise.
